Vision: WOLCC Beginnings & Mission

This is part one of a series of posts concerning vision and the Lord's direction to our local church body. 

In April of 1995 my wife and I along with 3 other families started meeting together in a home and from those meetings Word Of Life Christian Center was birthed. Every step we have made we have depended on prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit to bring VISION and guidance. Through the last 19 years, He has been faithful to us. If it were not for His plans and purposes being revealed, we would have been acting in hope alone. But hope will not produce a change in anyone’s life or in the life of the church. Faith has to be released to be able to accomplish His plans and purpose.


The Bible speaks of the importance of VISION. Proverbs 29:18 states… “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” The word VISION in this verse is defined as… “SIGHT, DREAM or REVELATION.” The word perish is defined as… “To loosen, to set at nought, dismiss or absolve.”


Proverbs 29:18 (Paraphrased)
“Without vision, a dream, a revelation the people will begin to loosen, dismiss, set at nought, it will become nothing to them.”


If the VISION is not clearly stated, nothing will be accomplished. As leaders we must relate the VISION to others so they can embrace it and then together we will accomplish the task. In our case, it is to declare the Word of Faith to the world.

In my next post I will share how the Lord began to direct our church at the close of 2012 through this year.


Be Blessed,
Pastor Dave
